If it is brand new and this is the first time is has been used this is normal. The water will be almost milky in color. Just run a lot of water through it and it will clear up.

If this is not a new unit it may have been interrupted in the middle of a regeneration cycle. It could also be that the brine tank is empty and air got sucked into the resin tank. If the brine tank is empty force a manual regeneration.

You may need service if the regeneration does not work properly and the brine tank does not get about 1/3 full of water.
